US Sports Law & Governance Experts on 2026 World Cup–2028 Olympics

I’m keen to speak to experts - lawyers, academics, members of sporting bodies/committees - with knowledge of how the current political climate in the US could impact sport - namely the 2026 World Cup and 2028 LA Olympic Games. Key questions I need answering are: - Could the US be stripped of hosting the aforementioned events, and what needs to happen for this decision to be made? Keen to see the process and how an outcome would be reached. - If so, how would FIFA/IOC decide which country/countries step in, and when is the latest date this could be confirmed? - Would a South American nation be likely to take over hosting the World Cup, given their proximity to the other co-hosts - Mexico and Canada? - What legal issues could FIFA run into if they do strip the US? Would they retain their automatic qualification spot? - Who would make the final decision on the World Cup hosts - would it be put to a vote by FIFA member nations? #JournoRequests
